That night, Wang Yan, who had left the party, lay on the bed in the apartment, tossing and turning and couldn't sleep.

His eyes stared at the ceiling in a daze, his mind constantly recalling what had happened at the banquet.

Lehman Brothers and Goldman Sachs are both behemoths in the American capital world.

They are targeted, but they have their pros and cons.

On the plus side, there will be a lot of money, connections, and even political support for the development of the business.

The founders of the business can also make quick cash in their efforts and reap a lot of money.

But the disadvantage is that many entrepreneurs lose the dominance of the enterprise.

There is Apple Jobs in the distance, and Yahoo Yang Zhiyuan is near.

Wang Gradual's thoughts kept rolling, while recalling the conditions given by the two major investment banks, he kept asking his heart.

What do you really want?

Is it just to become a best-selling author and rely on his work to feed and drink?

It is still to leave its own deep mark on the popular culture of this country and this world.

Wang gradually got up from the bed and picked up the Marlboro cigarette that he had taken from the party.

Light one and take a deep breath.

Through the smoke, he looked at the brilliant night view of Manhattan and said to himself, "Disney was just a mouse at first." ”

And just like that, the night passed.

When Wang gradually came to the office again, Tom and Dorsey followed in with serious faces.

"Goldman Sachs and Da Mo both sent people to me to consult whether they intended to sell their shares. Tom looked at Wang gradually and asked in a thoughtful tone.

"On my side, Goldman Sachs Investment, and Sequoia Capital. Dorsey followed.

Wang gradually made a gesture and motioned for the two to sit down.

Then, he poured them another cup of coffee.

"And what do you each mean?"

"I've been working in publishing since I was an intern at university. Leaving publishing, I didn't know what I could do. ”

Tom shrugged and took a sip of his coffee.

Wang gradually nodded, and then turned his gaze to Dorsey.

"Uh," Dorsey hesitated, but said, "I suggest accepting a percentage of the injection." ”

"At the moment, although the number of users of the site is growing steadily. However, our servers are still rented from Cisco's New York collective servers. ”

"Also, the bandwidth of the website was quickly stretched thin. ”

Hearing this, Tom, who was originally a little angry, showed a thoughtful look.

He and Dorsey looked at Wang Jian together, waiting for the decision of the largest shareholder of the website.

Wang gradually also observed the two carefully.

It was found that none of them had the idea of completely selling their shares and leaving the company.

So, under their astonished gazes, he took out a document from the folder he was carrying.

This is the condition given by Goldman Sachs and Lehman Brothers. ”

"What about yours?"

Tom and Dorsey looked at each other and left the office.

A moment later, the two hurried back again.

Only, this time, they each had a few pieces of paper in their hands.

In this way, the three of them compared the conditions given by several major Wall Street investment institutions in the office.

It has to be said that Goldman Sachs is worthy of the title of "white knight" in the investment world.

Compared with Big Mo, Little Mo, and Lehman, they not only give the website the highest valuation.

Moreover, it also demanded "only" 30% of the company's shares.

Finally, after a long discussion.

The trio made their decision after taking into account their respective financial situation and contributions to the site.

That is, Wang gradually reduced his holdings by 15%, and Tom and Dorsey each reduced their holdings by 7.5% of the website.

Tom took the bottom line of the three of them, walked out of the office, and began to contact various investment banks.

See if you can take advantage of the competition between investment banks in order to squeeze the maximum profits.

And Wang gradually stayed in the office, watching the agreement initialed by the three of them.

At this point, the shareholding composition of the website has become 55% for Wang Gradual, and 7.5% for Tom and Dorsey.

He hesitated, but dialed Matthew's phone anyway.

It's not that they don't trust Tom and Dorsey.

It's just that before signing a formal contract, it is best to go through the inspection of other lawyers.

Unexpectedly, Matthew brought good news to Wang Gradual.

That is, Sarah will be out of prison this afternoon.

After thinking about it, Wang gradually decided to go and greet Sarah in the afternoon.

After all, the relationship between Sarah and the original owner is too close.

In the afternoon, under the scorching sun of New York.

With the doors of this infamous prison, slowly opened.

Sarah, dressed in cheap clothes, walked out of prison.

Wang gradually looked at the girl in front of him, constantly comparing it with the memory in his mind.

Probably because of the lack of sunlight, Sarah, who was wheat-skinned in her memory, turned pale.

Even the eyes that have always been full of fighting spirit will be at a loss from time to time.

"Welcome out of prison. The king approached Sarah and stretched out his hand.

Unexpectedly, Sarah directly gave Wang Jian a big hug.

"Well, there's a lot of time to come. Matthew said inophinctly, "Now, let's go have a big dinner and celebrate." ”

Only then did Sarah notice that there were other people around Wang Jian, so she left Wang Jian's arms a little shyly.

The group got into Matthew's car and drove towards a well-known Mexican restaurant in New York.

Wang Jian and Sarah, who were sitting in the back seat of the car, glanced at each other.

For a moment, I didn't know what to say.

To ease the awkward atmosphere, Sarah pulled out a manuscript.

"That's what I wrote in prison, you can help me see it. ”

Wang Yan, who was thinking about what to say, breathed a sigh of relief and quickly took the manuscript and read it.

Sarah looked at Wang gradually with a serious look on her face, and also fell into her own thoughts.

She knew what she wrote sucked.

But in this way, as a well-known best-selling author, will Wang gradually instruct himself on how to write?

In that case, the relationship between the two should slowly become familiar until they return to the state they were in before entering prison?

But Wang gradually looked at the manuscript and couldn't help but sigh.

The same "Xiaobaiwen writing guidance", under the subjective intention of men and women, is really very different.

Sarah's manuscript, purely in terms of text and grammar, is completely unqualified.

But the plot in the book is something that Wang gradually has never read.

The gist of it is the story of a girl who was wrongfully imprisoned, and after an initial period of fear, began to want to escape from prison and start an action.

But unlike "The Shawshank Redemption", the warden, deputy warden, and prison bully boss in this prison all show a certain degree of affection for the heroine.

The warden wants to imprison the heroine and take it for himself.

The deputy warden also put aside his self-pity mentality because of the heroine, and worked hard to climb up, wanting to replace the prison warden.

And the leader of the prison tyrant on the lace side, because of the prison warden's attempt on the heroine, began to organize the prisoners to fight back.
